Jankowski - Backlund - Frolik
Now before making the case of the MMM line which I fully agree was incredible last year and a large part of our success this is still technically the MMM line and having our rookie step in with Backs and Fro again makes a ton of sense if you really think about how well Tkachuk benefited.
Tkachuk - Bennett - Versteeg
This is not a demotion for Tkachuk and if anything is a reward for both him and Bennett; Versteeg riding shotgun with these two opens up tons of possibilities for the Flames in terms of matchups as our top 3 lines can all put the puck in the net - a true nightmare when matched with our top 5 D.
Brouwer - Stajan - Lazar
Brouwer will do himself a big favour if he takes this role and runs with it and with the steady play of Stajan and a young, fueled Lazar looking to make a mark this makes for a fourth line that is offensively more inclined than most if any in the league.

I quite like the looks of this. If your adamant on Jankowski playing center then you can switch lines with Lazar and play him with Stajan sharing center duties. Might be a bit stifling for him on that line though
